World Market is doing their annual in-store scavenger hunt so I went this morning and got a $20 gift card and picked up a salad bowl and some neat wood servers. Work is busy but I wanted to take an hour for myself because things have been stressful. Why didn't I know this was a thing and why am I stuck here in the hospital* today? 😒 *rhetorical question, I know I'm here for good reason

I got an email from UPS that says I have a package being delivered tomorrow and they want to make sure im home for it and if not instructions on where to leave it. I have no idea what this is. The kicker - it says its 18 lbs. I asked my H and he has no idea what it is either. I just really hope its 18lbs of wine.

They do it every year for a few weeks before thanksgiving. I always carve out some time. You have to be there as soon as the store opens because there are always a few people walking up and down the aisles with you searching. I think there are 4 or 5 in the morning and 4 or 5 at night. They give a clue to it's location via email and facebook. There's one very sadistic WM near me that hides it inside of things and like in between paintings. I go to the one where they just put it on the shelf where you can actually find it because while I love a challenge, I love free WM shit more.

Obviously I doubt I'll be up for it this year, but remind me next year because I am all in. I've already ordered a bunch of Christmas things from them (in October, as soon as the stuff became available, lol) because I may have a problem. Ha.

I got a an email from them last week about free boxes and apparently, according to the girl I spoke to, clicking on the email automatically activates your account. I told her that was ridiculous. They offered a refund of a half a box. I told them no and they are refunding me a full box. So that’s great. I essentially have 3 free meals coming tomorrow.

Clicking on the email orders it for you? That's ridiculous. Glad you were able to get a refund because holy shadiness.

Ugg that sucks. Good luck today. Thanks. How are you holding up? I’m assuming Monty is already in surgery and will be out for a bit. You already saw the updates in Snapchat. Now we are home and he ate. We are both we exhausted but otherwise he is acting like himself. Early bedtime though!

Preliminary bp and bloods have been taken, waiting for the rest. Hoping we can knock this out quickly, lol.

That's ridiculous waitwhat! Hello fresh drives me crazy sometimes. I've had to cancel my membership twice because I forgot to cancel an order and then we're scrambling trying not to let the food go to waste that week. Blue apron actually sends you a pop up reminder that you have one more day to make changes so it was nice to be able to just cancel that week. I've put that in the comments for HF but they've never added that feature. Seems like they rely on trickery and people forgetting to cancel.

I got home at 12:30 last night and then M woke me up at 3. She said her throat hurt. I gave her some water and got her back to sleep. When I woke her up for school, I checked her ears, throat and temp. She couldn't keep her tongue down for me to check for spots so I could only see it was a little red, one of her ears looks like it has fluid and the other had too much wax. Her temp was 102. I dosed her with tylenol and sent her to school. Since I have missed the past 2 days, I had to come in today. It really sucks being a working parent sometimes.
She even asked me if I could pick her up in the car pick up line today when school got out because she felt pretty sick. I told her I wasn't sure if I could leave work early. She responded with, "It's okay if you can't mommy. I can just go to after care."
Now I feel like a terrible parent. I don't need hair pats. Just ranting.

For monogrammed Christmas stockings, do you put a variation of mom and dad ORyour actual names? I’ve been waiting to order matching monogrammed stockings until after we had kid #2 and the time has arrived!

I’ve been waiting to order matching monogrammed stockings until after we had kid #2 and the time has arrived! We have our names. We got ours before we had the kids. Gracie even has one. We got ours from pottery barn and I've been able to get the same design for all 5 of us over probably 10 years.

M still had a fever of 101 when I picked her up yesterday. She said her throat still hurt so I picked up some Halls Lollipops at the store. I asked if she wanted to stay home today and she said no. After a meltdown in the bathtub, she decided she did want to stay home. Grandpa is with her this morning until my MIL can get over there. I scheduled an appt for this afternoon to check for strep &/or EI. When I sent a text to her teacher she said there were 5 kids out yesterday. Some with the stomach virus and some with strep.
FML if we get strep & a stomach virus.

I personally am going to do first names! They are running deals on the stockings right now. The ones I picked were $10 off each but then if you personalize that’s an extra $10. Ended up costing $30/stocking which is crazy but I’ve wanted them for a long time and we will keep them forever. I decided to go with first names.

FX no stomach bug or Strep tgrimes! Husband Vent: DH is heading to Maine and last night I had it out with him. He didn't say anything, he just let me vent but now we're doing the awkward silent but polite things which is... awkward! It started out just frustration and months of stuff came out. First he didn't want to call his aunt back until after I got home from work because "someone needs to watch L," ummmm what do I do every other day!?! Then when he was on the phone with his aunt, he brags about how great he is and how I'm on "mini-vacation" because he does all the stuff!?! What? Thus far he hasn't folded a darn load of laundry, can't keep up with the towels, isn't meeting L's word goal (15,000 words/day), and after being home for a week and a half, he's heading to Maine to help his brother with his truck. What happened to my min-vacation? I told him, it's sad that society thinks he's a super dad because you do bedtime and nap time! He handled L's busted lip tie great but he never pulled out his draft of the IEP and didn't go over with a fine tooth comb or even mark because he knows I'll just do it. He hasn't even looked at the contract the school makes parents sign. The other night, he was playing candy crush while L was eating lunch and again at dinner!?! So that was last night. He woke up and did laundry but I'm not sure if it's because of the talk or because of the fact that both his sweatshirts were in there. He'll leave sometime this afternoon and I'm back on duty. I have to swim class with L tomorrow, I have a meeting tonight that L gets to sit in, I have a meeting on Sunday after church and youth and since I'm not sure if he'll be back in time, chances are L will be at both. I'm just grrrr
